"You either die a hero or
you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."
Harvey Dent
Bruce: People are dying, Alfred. What would you have me do?
Alfred: Endure, Master Wayne. Take it. They'll hate you for it,
but that's the point of Batman, he can be the outcast.
He can make the choice that no one else can make,
the right choice.
Bruce: Well today I found out what Batman can't do.
He can't endure this. Today you get to say "I told you so."
Alfred: Today, I don't want to.
[pauses for several moments]
But I did bloody tell you.
Because he's not a hero. He's a silent guardian, a watchful protector... a dark knight.
早在三百多年前,蝙蝠俠的內心掙扎,就曾經在一個有血有肉的中國人,袁崇煥身上體現了。血戰保家護城,最後卻遭淩遲處死,袁崇煥被綁上刑場,劊子手還沒有動手,北京的眾百姓就撲上去搶著咬他的肉,直咬到了內臟。劊子手依照規定,一刀刀的將他身上肌肉割下來。眾百姓圍在旁邊,紛紛叫喊,出錢買他的肉,一錢銀子只能買到一片,買到後咬一口,罵一聲:「漢奸!」因為北京城的百姓認定,去年清兵圍城是他故意引來的。很難說這樣的謠言從何而來,是痛恨袁崇煥的大臣與太監們散播出去的?還是一般群眾天生的喜歡聽信謠言?又或許,受到了重大驚恐和損失的北京百姓需要一個發洩的對象?
用自己的鮮血去保護北京城的居民,最後卻受到人民的唾棄,相比蝙蝠俠的痛苦,實在有過之而無不及。當時有一位叫程本直的庶民,稱袁崇煥是『癡心人』,是『潑膽漢』,全國惟一肯擔當責任的好漢,他曾這樣的形容袁崇煥:
『舉世皆巧人,而袁公一大痴漢也。
唯其痴,故舉世最愛者錢,袁公不知愛也。
唯其痴,故舉世最惜者死,袁公不知怕也。
於是乎舉世所不敢任之勞怨,袁公直任之而弗辭。
於是乎舉世所不得不避之嫌疑,袁公直不避之而獨行也。』
袁崇煥卻自稱是大明國裏的一個亡命徒。亡命徒是沒有家庭幸福的,日日夜夜不得平安。官居一品,過的卻是亡命徒生涯,只因這十年之中,他生命之火在不斷的猛烈燃燒。
補白:
程本直是個沒有任何功名職位的布衣,在袁崇煥被誣陷收監時,顯示了罕有的俠義精神。這樣的事,縱然在輕生重義的戰國時代,也足以轟傳天下。程本直與袁崇煥素無淵源,曾三次求見都見不著,到後來終於見到了,他對袁欽佩已極,便投在袁部下辦事,拜袁為老師。袁被捕後,程本直上書皇帝,列舉種種事實,為袁崇煥辯白,請求釋放,讓他帶兵衛國。這道白冤疏寫得怨氣沖天,最後申請為袁崇煥而死。崇禎大怒,將他下獄,後來終於將他殺了,完成他的志願。
